A week is long enough to see your doctor for these symptoms. A viral infection, like a “stomach flu”, should be getting better after 7 days. If your symptoms are improving, then it is ok to wait a few more days but, if you are not improving every day, then see your doctor because there is likely another cause besides a viral infection. You may need a GI doctor to evaluate you as well. Good luck!
